Cute little board book I got for my 2 month old son. It has a good variety of things to touch and feel, but not a ton of touch and feel pages. Short and simple words to read, I also appreciate the brightly colored and changing background pages (not all of them are white), because this caught my son's eye better.

My son likes the bright colors and shapes in this book, but he's really in it for the touch and feel elements, and some of them are way too small or unnoticeable here. I wish the textures took up a lot more space on the page to really give him something to feel.

Nothing to see here - just padding my 2017 reading list so I can reach 100 books. Shhhhhh, don't tell...uh...God...?

A great tactile book for young ones.

Because colors aren't dynamic enough, we've added SHAPES for your viewing pleasure!

Nominally interactive and perfectly generic.

I think the overall narrative flows really well.

My 6 month old loves this book. All of the colors and shapes catch and hold her attention. It’s the perfect size and durability for her current stage of development.

We loved all the touch and feel aspects of this book!

This is the first of two books I bought for my baby. The other being Things That Go. The baby seems to like this one the best. There are lots of colorful pictures and simple language which is good for a baby book. The "feel" patterns in the book are too small and should take up more of the page. It's too difficult to get baby to actually feel the textures because they are so small.

It was a bad touch and feel too small and not much texture. The shapes and color were too few and you did not know they were changing when they began to change. Yucky. Ages Birth+

A board book about shapes and colors. Not much to touch or feel on most of the pages.
